Android annotations REST send image

I use android annotations to communicate with the server. In one of the api calls I need to send some text data and an image, say, from gallery. 

@Post("/items/addItem.php")
String addItem(Protocol protocol);

How do I attach a MultipartForm with an image along with the post request?

Solution

  • Just use the right Spring converter : FormHttpMessageConverter.

    However, this converter only accepts MultiValueMap as method parameter. Please have a look at these two issues: #652 and #660.

    If you really want to use any object as parameter, you have to implement your own custom FormHttpMessageConverter which will handle that by using reflection.
